Meet the Judges
Nikon Small World showcases brilliant imagery and artistic feats in science and the unseen world around us. Each year, the Nikon Small World judging panel plays an integral role in selecting the images and videos that best illustrate the combined wonders of science and artistry. The competition has grown and evolved significantly over the past half century, necessitating a judging panel whose combined expertise matches the unique prowess and skill of the entries they are tasked with reviewing.
Nikon strives to select a panel that demonstrates a range of expertise — a team that can evaluate a photo or video based on technical prowess, scientific significance, aesthetic appeal, and power to convey a story to the viewer. In this article, you’ll meet the members of the 2025 judging panel who reviewed thousands of submissions from across the globe to select this year's winners. We are delighted to introduce the esteemed judging panel of the 51st annual Nikon Small World competition.
